Go ahead and see what I mean.
Follow it and I'll put money on them wanting you you send them some money in order to secure the check and send you some cash.
You will send them the small amount of money but never see anything in return.

SCAM

I like that they don't address you in person, and that the firm he claims to be representing doesn't have that name in employ.

I like how they tried sending you a letter VIA the postal service, and failed, but somehow managed to dig up your e-mail address out of the entire interweb....

One of our esteemed Moderators recently MESSED with one of these guys. It went down in the Admins/Mods section.

You would be amazed at how far it went, and what documentation went back and forth (fake documents from both sides).

I can also tell you how much personal information can be discovered with very little to start with.

Yep, I've messed with THREE of these guys. I had them going for WEEKS. I sent them photoshopped birth certificates which they fell for, photoshopped IDs, fake information, fake e-mail, etc. The key is to play dumb, act interested in getting the money, and waste their time. If they ask you to do something, act like you misunderstood something. Don't give them ANY real personal information. One guy asked me for my license, and I said I was in a horrible car accident years ago and didn't have one (so I photoshopped over my actual birth certificate).

One guy sent me his passport without me even requesting it. It was so OBVIOUSLY photoshopped I laughed MFAO. If I can find it I'll post it.

When I was bored of screwing with them, I told them off in a way that let them know what kind of scum they are, and laughed in their face how easily I was able to screw with them.

GOOD TIMES!!

Here'* the birth certificate I sent him. This is my actual birth certificate, I just changed everything using the same typewriter style font on the original. Even with the busy pattern of the paper, I pulled it off quite well!
